Tri-fold Screen Jewelry Display

Tri-fold screen display

I purchased this screen at Hobby Lobby (with a coupon to save $$!).

I made earring display cards with scrapbooking paper (purchased in multi-colored strips pre-cut the width of the card, also from Hobby Lobby), and I have added colorful detail to many of them with peel & stick scrapbooking papers.

I fold the cards at the top and slip them behind the slats on the screen. Clip-on lights further brighten up the display.

I use the scrapbooking strips to hang necklaces and pins as well.

I have received many positive comments on my display.

The screen itself is very light and easy to transport.

Love, Love, LOVE This Idea!

What a wonderful and lovely way to display your jewelry at a higher level, so people don't have to bend over to see it!

Plus you can show a ton of pieces in a small footprint of floor space.

I just love everything you've done with this display - from your colorful custom cards / tags, to the groovy screen itself.

It's easy to see why you get such great feedback on it from your customers.

(As a side note for anyone who may not know, you can usually find good coupons on Hobby Lobby's website, and print them out before you shop there! Their coupons often make some of their furnishings like this screen quite affordable.)

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful jewelry display idea, Sally.

A tiny bit distracting?

I think the folding screen concept is very creative. The goal for a good display is to drive the customer's focus to the individual pieces of jewelry.

If I were to buy a folding screen (great idea!) I would paint it an overall ivory or black color so that the contrasting dark wood sections don't distract from the jewelery itself.

Using a consistent colored tag for each piece of jewelry could also add to the attractiveness of the display.

Just a thought.

I Love the Display

I love the display. It would be great to add a mirror somewhere on it.

Thanksa for comments

Thanks for your comments! I love this site! I'm just getting started with making jewelry as a serious business and I am learning so much.

What about using all the same color tags? My business name is "Bright Ideas" so my plan has been to incorporate a lot of bright colors (and black) in my booth. I do feel the colors catch people's eye, but perhaps deter actual sales. Once again, I appreciate any feedback and thanks so much for sharing such wonderful, helpful information.

Great idea

Bright colors are a great idea, Sally. Here's a thought, pick your colors from the color wheel so that they are in harmony with each other, maybe choosing 3 max. I agree with you about too many colors, especially bright ones, can be a distraction. But I think with a little planning, you can harmonize your display.
Just had another idea...use one bright color at a time, with plenty of bright lightening to illuminate your designs.
Hope this helps...good luck

Stability
by: Debbie

I love your idea and I do agree with the comments about too many colors being distracting. I do have a question, though - how stable is this? I would be afraid that it would get knocked over by someone trying to take the earrings off to get a better look at them, or too many people at once looking and touching.

Good question -- I should have mentioned this. My husband has made supports of wrought iron that slip onto the bottom of the screen and support it. When we set it up outside, we have also used tent stakes to support it.

Love the idea

And I love the screen you chose. I would stick to just one or two bright colors, you want your beautiful jewelry to stand out. Great idea for shows when you want to put things at customer eye level!
